According to the complaint that was filed Wednesday, former employee Debra Velasquez is alleging that she and others were "subjected to a hostile work environment because of their skin color and nationality" and called names like "negra" and "burro" by management during the time she worked there.
Velasquez worked at the farm for about a year before allegedly being fired after she filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In the suit she is seeking back pay and damages for "malicious and reckless conduct." [South Florida Business Journal]
